I find this to be a terrible poll. Where is strategy as an option? None of your broad categories covers it, yet you have such a narrow genre as flight sims? Not just simulators in general, which would follow your broad categories ideal, but the dying genre of flight sims. Also, how does one categorize driving games? Action? Sports? No offense, but it seems like you might not have put much thought into this.

This is the first of three polls, presumably the 2nd will include

Shooter

Strategy

Racer.

 

It seems like sports will get through to the next round with 5% of the vote. Many lols

 

Anyway, I voted RPG

RPG but there is not one good RPG on next gen console. I'm hoping white knight chronicles will be good.

Action/Adventure


Followed only by RPG.



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

RPG, followed by Action Adventure.

The third place will be heavily contested, it seems

Thank you Scottie...and Griffin.

So yes....those three you mentioned in your list are certainly in the next round.  I suppose I could spill the beans now about what's in next week's poll....but I don't really want to derail the discussion into those genres.

A good old fashioned point&click adventure game

Action/Adventure.

Mainly because it tends to have the most diversity in its gameplay and objectives, and has the most potential to expand upon its previous benchmarks.

 

i agree with this, action/adventure just more diversity, RPG is a close second for me

RPG, story, depth, gameplay and overall value is usually through the roof! Games like Baldur's Gate are simply the most amazing gaming experience in the world to me.
I don't like that "RPG's" are getting more shallow though, if more Western developers take the Bethesda route, we're gonna have a lot of uninspiring RPG's on our hands eventually.

Action/Adventure is only 2 behind RPG at the moment. I have a feeling week 3 will be a repeat of Week 1, only with different genres that get next to no votes.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

RPG's FTW. JRPG's are the best!

Action/Adventure grabs 2nd.
